Austin Plaine

Born in Fargo, ND and raised in Minnesota, Austin Plaine’s music is seeded in storytelling.One can assume that with less to do than metropolitan city life, Austin was intrigued to find a guitar that belonged to his grandfather in a family closet. At age 13, with the help of his
cousin, Austin learned his fi rst chords and dove straight into songwriting. Taking inspiration
from artists like Bob Dylan, Bright Eyes, Elliott Smith, and Ryan Adams, Austin tells
emotional, inspirational and personal stories about love, exploring the world and living life
to the fullest. His raw, concise lyrics and beautiful melodies have proven to be a soundtrack
to TV shows and commercials. Mastercard licensed his song “Beautiful” for a heartfelt ad
at the end of 2014. The song was also featured in a key, uplifting moment in and episode
of The Biggest Loser. Songs “Hard Days” and “Houston” made an appearance in the CWs
Hart of Dixie. Austin’s self-titled release will be out in 2015 on Washington Square Music.
